5% I-Mandelic Serum
Our gold standard 5% L-Mandelic Serum is an alpha hydroxy acid serum that contains the chirally correct versions of both l-mandelic acid and l-lactic acid. L-Mandelic acid has a larger molecular weight than other alpha hydroxy acids slowing down epidermal penetration resulting in a more even exfoliation with less irritation.
Face Reality 5% Mandelic Serum is best for those with sensitive or dry skin and those using the serum for healthy aging concerns. Acne clients generally start with Face Reality 8% Mandelic Serum.
